Yogida Sawmynaden acquitted in the Constituency Clerk case: a very harsh judgment against Simla Kistnen, according to Me Gulbul

The Intermediate Court's verdict in the Constituency Clerk case involving the former Minister of Commerce was delivered this morning. Yogida Sawmynaden was found not guilty.

When he left the court, one of his two lawyers, Me Raouf Gulbul, said he noted that the court severely criticized the testimony of Simla, the widow of Soopramanien Kistnen. The magistrate, he said, used very harsh terms to qualify the contradictions noted during her testimony.

Mr. Gulbul also underlined the importance of respect for judicial institutions, affirming that it is up to the court to judge individuals, and not to other authorities.
